Congratulations to @fundipgirl! You successfully completed last week’s iTwixie Word of the Week Challenge! Now, just send your parent’s mailing address to “info@itwixie.com” and you’ll get a surprise within the next 30 days!

Here’s the sentence @fundipgirl wrote using last week’s word, caucus: @fundipgirl Donald Trump won the republican vote in the New Hampshire caucus of 2016.

Way to go, @fundipgirl! That was a great sentence, but just one clarification: Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary election, not the caucus. New Hampshire is not a caucus state, but rather holds a primary election. Isn’t this confusing?!? Only 13 states use the caucus system for the presidential primary. So, since this is such a challenging topic, guess what our Word of the Week Challenge is for this week?

Here’s the new Word of the Week: primary

Here’s the sentence @agm16 wrote using last week’s word, code: Some spies use codes to communicate in secret ways. I will write a sentence in pig latin, which is a type of code. I-ay ove-lay itwixie-ay. That means: i love itwixie. This is how pig latin works. You take a word like rock. You take the first letters away if they are not vowles.then you add ay at the end with the letters that you took away. So rock would become ock-ray. If the word starts with a vowle you kust add ay at the end so apple would become apple-ay. I-aay ove-lay odes-cay!

We had to post the entire paragraph – it was just too fun! Way to go, @agm16!
